I just totalled up the amount I've spent so far, and I'm sitting at $118.60. figuring the few things left that I want I should hit my earlier estimate of $200.

After the sale season is over, I'd really get a kick out of having you list your ENTIRE backlog. I'm starting to flex my index finger muscles now in preparation of some heavy use of my scroll wheel.

hell, I'd probably be better off using the iPhone to record a video of me scrolling through it just to avoid index finger scrolling related injury lawsuits

Yes, I vote for a YouTube of Ceekay going over the complete backlog, with sales information (expenditures), games completed, games played, games in the backlog, time for posting GT, and a list of daily bathroom breaks. Seriously, I want to see how his operation works. Must have a staff of 6-8 to handle it all.

I am setting up a laptop for an 82 year relative this weekend. He can't get to the desktop well anymore. He loves Sudoku and Solitaire (perhaps some other casuals slow paced and more brain game oriented). Easy interface and good full screen (large) graphics are a must. Suggestions?

I am a huge RPG fan - but never played BG2. I fired it up back in the day but didn't return to it. The GOG sale was too much - that coupled with a widescreen mod everyone seems to appreciate and I took the plunge. I have yet to roll my character. Before I do, I am looking for some suggestions. I'll take anything - mod, character suggestions, tips, tricks, pitfalls. I have to assume there is a fair contingent of supporters at GT. Anyone want to weigh in?

Okay great sale. But, like many of you I can load my cart with a bunch of games. I want to know WHICH games from you haul you think you will ACTUALLY play. It will help my buying decision. I never got through BG2 back in the day and NWN - I think I played the original game. But I am not sure which titles on this monster list I would really get too!

It's fairly rare now that I buy a game I don't actually play -even cheap classics from sites like GOG. I've been looking to replay BG2 for some time, but haven't been able to locate my disc 2 - so that's a for sure. I dove in for 2 copies of HOMM3 so my son and I can play vs on our home LAN. We'll do the same with the 2 copies of Stronghold Crusader I got. I've previously bought 18 other games from GOG and other than Divine Divinity I've completed them all - that RPG just didn't do it for me. Despite their dated graphics and sound, it's easy for me to get engrossed in them and finish them, no doubt due to the fact that so many of them were AAA titles in their day.

Why did you say that? Now I am going to have to pull the trigger on a few. Damn it! Since graphics are still fairly important- which holds up better NWN or BG2? I think there are mods for BG2?

I just finished - logged over 100 hours (Steam). I really enjoyed this game overall (part one). At times I dropped the difficulty to Casual (toward the end), because of the tedium and incessant kiting required. Mostly this was due to fatigue (after 85 hours) I was just getting a bit tired. And, some of the fed exing got a bit much. As some have said, the difficulty spikes and wanes, but overall just a great game IMHO.

I am going to hold off on Flames of Vengeance and start Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. But I will definitely get back to it. Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did.

Can you play the EU III Nomine expansion without having played the original EU III? I picked it up a while ago but didn't get far because of bugs (EU III). Looks like the Nomine expansion fixed the issue. But, can you start with it?
